I noticed a small ulcer on my stoma after I came back from holiday in Thailand . My stoma had become swollen on last few days of my holiday and quite angry looking. I put it down to the heat,eating too much fruit and drinking a few beer every day. I’m now home about 6 weeks. The ulcer is still there . I have had discomfort and burning sensation right side of body& back also left buttock area,discomfort in perineal area and suspect a flare up . I unfortunately am very fond of ice cream and a few glasses of wine at weekends which I believe has caused my problem …all self inflicted. No fool like an old fool 🙄 I’m very active person gym goer etc and not overweight but must say I’m totally gobsmacked that I may have inflicted a flare with my bad habits .Obviously I have now curtailed all the bad things and taking herbal remedies fish oil and anything I can think of to curb inflammation. Anyone any words of wisdom ? Be much appreciated!
